It's only two days away! On Thursday my Dad and I will pack up the car and begin our trek across the country to New Orleans.
May I just say that God is good? :) So very, very good. I have learned without a doubt that He is my Provider and my Protector. And He has provided all of you. He has brought you into my life and blessed me with you. So thank you. Thank you for every decision you made that brought you in contact with me.
This is just a short update, because I do leave in only two days and there is much still to do, but I wish to share something I wrote down last week. I hope this little thought helps you think big thoughts about our very BIG God.
"The peonies in the pitcher next to me are stunning. They bloom because they were designed to do just that. They bloom in praise of their Creator. God is their Creator, but He is not their Saviour, because they did not need to be saved or redeemed. They have not left the Path God created them to follow.
But He is my Saviour, my Redeemer. He created me in beauty and closeness, but I rebelled...refusing to bloom how my Creator designed me to bloom. Now I need a Saviour, a Redeemer, to rescue my rebellious life from the path I am on, and return me to the Path I missed."
I have not reflected the humility of this thought in my life recently, and for that I am very sorry. I apologize. I trust myself to God and resolve to live in a manner worthy of the calling to which I am called. Which is to be a Christian.
Prayer Requests:
-Safety and energy on our drive across the country.
-A journey that is full of life and time to prepare my heart and mind for the coming months.
-That the intern team would already be preparing to be a family and have a joyful time getting to know each other and working together.
Shalom.
